Dear Nagendrudu,

Individual maternity benefits may vary from organisation to organisation and will primarily depend on a particular organisation’s HR policy. However, most organisations follow a three-month maternity leave pattern. The government is currently considering a six-month maternity leave policy.

Under the provisions of the Maternity Benefits Act, a person is entitled to maternity benefits at an average daily wage for a period of six weeks from a day before your delivery to six weeks following that day.

The average daily wage is calculated on the basis of the daily wages during the period of three calendar months immediately preceding the date the person absented herself on account of maternity, or the minimum wage rate, whichever is higher.

To be eligible she must have worked for not less than 160 days in the 12 months immediately prior to the date of the expected delivery.

The employee is entitled to a maximum period of 12 weeks as maternity benefit. In the unfortunate event of a miscarriage, she must provide relevant proof of the miscarriage to avail the medical benefits.

Another important provision under the Maternity Benefits Act is that if the employee is ill on account of the pregnancy or if have delivered prematurely, she is entitled to a maximum period of one month in addition to the maternity leave.

Dear Shiny,

Good One.

But Not applicable to All BOSSES, Bosses are never actually wrong. However, and this is a very important as they are always open to suggestions

They are always right. Impeccably right; unquestionably, infallibly, conclusively, right. You would think they couldn't get any righter, but there they go - getting righter and righter with each passing day. In fact, the only people in the whole wide world who can be even more right than bosses are customers - especially if they are BOSSES too.

We must keep your emotions out of it: Stay cool, stay calm, and stay level-headed. Try not to be argumentative or judgemental. Try harder not to appear argumentative or judgemental. Stick to facts, and use phrases like `It might be better if we reconsidered this aspect of... '

The best you can do is to show him how much more right he will be if he follows your suggestions. When it comes to bosses, words play a huge role in how they will respond to you, so choose them carefully. Very carefully


And remember... BOSS is BOSS and BOSS is always RIGHT.

Regards,
Martin.
